    hey im really getting into the groove with chaining now... but still need help lol
    still have only one chained shiny, which was luck after 22 mareep...
    i am really unlucky, i keep going for chains of 40 and they break after 37 (lotad) 38 (mareep) and 39 (phanpy)

    so ive decided to stop chains at 20

    only thing i need to know is if YOU chain to 20, how long does it take you to find a shiny?

    cos ive got a chain of 20 slakoth lol

    thanks fellas and lasses
     
    It depends on your luck. i got a shiny Larvitar on a chain of 9, you just have to keep trying.

    I see it this way, no one is ever unlucky, just keep persevering.

    too true:) good words there
     
    i got my first shiny on my 7th pokeradar and it was starley but im pretty good with pokeradar but i started on really common things like starley then moved on to harder things like cubones and so on btw if u try chaining at 20 itll take about x50 longs than 30 or 40 i usually get shinies reseting radar at 3-40 about 35 wud b best
     
    Chaining is very frustrating, I can only reach a chain of about 7 to 8 bidoof or machop or budew

    Chaining is so annoying but I got super lucky when I did my first chain of Gligar's. On my second Gligar it was a shiny


    :t354:TG
     
    I chained some shiny bagons (about 10) and gave most of them away for egg move, good natured, male, untouched pokemon. When I announced I was giving them away, people pmed me like crazy. They were mainly sp.atk and speed natures. I am gonna try to chain them again to get an attack-natured one, then larvitars.
     
    The first pokemon i caught by chaining was a chatot with a chain of 64!!! my highest chain. but ever since then, ive caught 19 shinies by pokeradar, the lowest at 11 (i think). the 2 highest chains i broke were a chain of 40 bidoof when the pokeradar said "the grass patch remained quiet." and 40 zigzagoon when i ran out of max repels.
     
    I'm new to chaining...so far I SUCK. I've chained 3 Swellows...xD
     
    My most chained pokemon was a psyduck and it was like 40 something times maybe. lol

    If you have a pokemon with Synchronize in the front of your team, there is a high chance of the wild pokemon having the same nature as the synchronize pokemon. Tested this by catchin 50 starlies.. 40 had the same nature as mine :/
     
    Always go to 40, otherwise it takes far too long to get a shiny, I once got a shiny stunky from a chain of 7, it was fun. Using the four steps method almost always works for me.
     
    My swarm today was Phanpy and I just got 3 shinys.. 2 adamants, 1 naive
